In this episode I chat with much loved Australian comedian and author Fiona O'loughlin.  Fiona has had quite a public battle with alcohol and has  she has just released her second book, Truths from an Unreliable Witness where she bares all and holds nothing back.  The book takes us through her journey with alcohol,  how it spiralled out of control,  and how relapse after heart breaking relapse she slowly lost everything,  her marriage,  a home to live and almost lost her life.   
She is now back from the brink and rebuilding from a much more spiritual place.  

A bit about Fiona.

The award-winning national documentary series, Australian Story, filmed an episode on Fiona, which rated over 1.3 million viewers.

Fiona has overcome a well-documented ‘battle with the bottle’. This, like the other aspects of her life, has become ‘material’ for her stand-up. And Fiona is even funnier sober.
